Two BIG reasons to make your way to Maxwell’s today ☀️🌊

✨ Lunch on the lake is officially back from 11:00–2:00
Grab a cocktail, soak in the views, and enjoy casual-but-elevated lunch favorites perfect for summer afternoons and family lunches alike.

✨ And for the FIRST time ever — online dinner reservations are now available for parties of 6 or less! Head to our page and click toasttab under our links!

Not seeing the time you want? Give us a call — we may still be able to fit you in.

The lights are on, the wine is chilled, the martinis are ready, and our team can’t wait to welcome you back to the lake. 🍸✨

Join us tonight as we kick off another summer season filled with memories, celebrations, and a few late-night espresso martinis.

We’ve missed you, Okoboji - WE'RE BACK! ❤️

And the color is… NAVY!! 🎉🇺🇸

Congrats to Holly Haymond & Trisha Barakat, whose names were randomly drawn from the 13 correct guesses!! 👏

Finley Hoien—joining us for his 12th year—picked Navy as our Summer 2026 color. Be sure to stop in and see him behind the bar making some great cocktails 🍸

Here’s the fun part:
👏 Over 1,000 guesses came in… and only 13 got it right!
🍌 Most popular guess? BANANA (clearly a crowd favorite!)
💙 Most guessed color family? Blue!

Thanks to everyone who played along!

With heavy hearts, we share that Lewis Casson, heart behind Maxwell’s Beach Cafe has passed.

As the owner from 1986 to 2018—he was the spirit that shaped who we are today. We will deeply miss his quick wit, his friendly smile, and the way he made everyone who walked through our doors feel like they belonged.

His legacy lives on in every memory, every meal, and every summer spent together at the lake.

He will always be part of Maxwell’s Beach Cafe! 🤍
